This drill is a very easy set up. All you will need is a soccer ball and a set of Kbands. Next, you will stand over the soccer ball. The first portion of the drill is a tap drill designed to help you increase hip flexor strength and speed. Clip on your Kbands when you begin the drill. This portion you'll be tapping the soccer ball out in front of your body trying to move as quickly as possible. After you complete 12 to 15 second sets you'll then move onto the second portion of this drill. During the sequence you will be tapping the ball back-and-forth between your legs. When your legs are spread past the athletic position you will feel a lot of glute activation. Young soccer players must have glute activation to improve lateral speed. This simple drill can be completed by yourself, or in a group training session. Stick to the reps and sets in the video so the resistance of Kbands will affectively train your lower body.

Let's take a closer look at the question at hand. What age should you start training soccer players with resistance? The answer depends a lot on the athlete themselves. Some athletes can complete resistance training drills at a much younger age because they are more developed. Sometimes, youth athletes develop at a slower pace. These athletes should begin with simple agility drills with no resistance. Resistance training is utilized to optimize and athlete’s abilities when their body is ready. Forcing overload training on a youth athlete Will not develop their body but rather is an inefficient way to train. Most young athletes struggle with simple mobility exercises. We recommend targeting mobility, flexibility, and agility training before resistance training. For more questions please leave a comment below.
